Mr. Ceiling, an innovative ceiling technology firm, is set to showcase its state-of-the-art stretch ceiling technology at the highly anticipated 25th BUILDEXPO KENYA. Scheduled to take place from June 5th to 7th, this event will bring together leading exhibitors from the building and construction industry, highlighting the latest advancements and products shaping the future of construction in the region.
Mr. Ceiling’s stretch ceiling technology, a revolutionary alternative to traditional gypsum ceilings, promises significant cost savings and superior performance. This European-engineered solution, new to Sub-Saharan Africa, has already been extensively utilized in both Europe and Asia, earning a reputation for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
“Stretch ceilings offer a futuristic revolution in interior design and construction,” said Tigran Metaks, MD of Mr. Ceiling. “Unlike conventional ceilings, our technology is not only more affordable but also incredibly resilient. For instance, during the rainy season, any leaks can be easily managed by draining the water and re-sealing the ceiling, restoring it to its original state.”
The firm is targeting a diverse audience that includes homeowners, contractors, architects, and developers, aiming to introduce them to the benefits of this cutting-edge technology. The stretch ceilings are designed to provide a sleek, modern finish while being practical and easy to maintain, making them an ideal choice for various construction projects.
Kenya’s real estate sector is witnessing a significant boom, with an annual growth rate of approximately 5.3% as of 2023. This growth is driven by increased urbanization, a rising middle class, and substantial investments in infrastructure and housing. The demand for innovative and cost-effective construction solutions is higher than ever, positioning Mr. Ceiling’s stretch ceiling technology as a timely and valuable addition to the market.
BUILDEXPO KENYA is expected to draw a wide range of exhibitors specializing in building construction, creating a vibrant platform for industry professionals to network, exchange ideas, and explore new products. Mr. Ceiling’s participation underscores its commitment to bringing advanced European technologies to the local market, enhancing the quality and efficiency of construction practices in Kenya.
